description The African American Policy Forum and the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies states, "The risks that Black and other girls of color confront rarely receive the full attention of researchers, advocates, policymaker and funders." The limited awareness of the challenges that Black girls face perpetuates the mischaracterization of their attitudes, abilities, and achievement. Thus, school becomes an inhospitable place where Black girls receive mixed messages about femininity and goodness and are held to unreasonable standards. This study explores how Black girls describe and understand their school experiences as racialized and gendered and the ways a conversation space allows Black girls' meaning making about and critical examination of individual and collective schooling experiences.
